The Boring Gallery at the front of the community art centre, 19 Taupō Quay, exhibition runs from September 8-27.

The Boring Gallery at the front of the community art centre, 19 Taupō Quay, exhibition runs from September 8-27.

Peter Shepherd used to own and run Red Door Gallery in Putiki, then after a couple of years break, he started the Boring Gallery at the front of the community art centre, 19 Taupō Quay.

This is run as a co-op with the artists working in the gallery.

This is the fourth combined art exhibition they have put on. The first was a clock exhibition at Expressions Gallery, then an old-style radio exhibition at Red Door Gallery, and a functional art exhibition at Red Door Gallery.

“Each time the artists have been given a totally free hand with it, so we get truly inspiring work,” says Shepherd. “We will also have a people’s choice award as people vote for their favourite work. They go into the draw to win a $100 voucher to be used at the Boring Gallery.”

Also at the art centre is an exhibition of Louise Herdsman’s mosaics students, titled Making Mosaics Our Way. The exhibition runs from September 8-27.
